Common problems we fix in West Hill
Heat and cold make glass and frames move, and they don’t move by the same amount. Over years, that movement tears the silicone.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Water running down inside the glass
- Leaks from the base of a shower screen
- Glass-to-glass joints that have split
- Stained, discoloured glazing silicone
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as St Paul's CofE Primary School and Nursery, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

Glazing silicone for homes and businesses in West Hill
Glazing joints need a sealant made for glass. Our applicators use neutral-cure glazing silicone that’s suited to glass and the frame, finished with a neat, even bead. We work on rooflights, conservatory frames and glass-to-glass joints, and common reasons people get in touch are a quick top-up bead that didn’t last and shower screens leaking along the wall or tray.
Around West Hill, conservatories, garden rooms and patio doors are often part of the house. Those joints need the same attention as the main windows, and any older timber or sash windows need a sealant that suits them.
All our work comes with a 12-month guarantee.

Why it’s worth doing now in West Hill
Resealing cannot fix a failed unit or a cracked panel. We will tell you that rather than seal it anyway and point you to a glazier or roofer. In a smaller place like West Hill, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
What it costs depends on the amount of work, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. We give a clear quote before work begins, so you know where you stand.

How it works
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. A visit to West Hill is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- First, we trace the leak and check it’s coming through a sealant joint.
- Old silicone is cut away from the glass and frame without scratching either.
- Surfaces are cleaned with a solvent suited to glass and the frame.
- Glazing silicone suited to the joint is applied and tooled.
- We check the joints and, where safe, run water over them.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Glass-to-frame joints
Old sealant is removed carefully from the glass and reseal with glazing silicone.

What glazing silicone looks like in West Hill
West Hill is within about 1 mile of the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. That is hard on glazing joints and frame seals, especially on the side facing the sea. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
Homes close to Galeed Strict Baptist Chapel include some older properties, and the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall. Letting a property close to Brighton station? Then glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.

Your questions about glazing silicone in West Hill
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Brighton station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Does living near the coast affect glazing silicone in West Hill?
Near the sea, outside joints face more wind, rain and salt than they would inland, so preparation and the right sealant matter all the more. Walls facing the sea are normally the first to need attention.
Can you just put new silicone over the old?
It does not last. The new bead can’t grip the old one, so we remove the old sealant and clean the joint.
Is a special sealant needed for glass?
We use a neutral-cure glazing silicone suited to glass and the frame. Shower screens get anti-fungal silicone.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we tidy up before we go.
Will resealing stop my conservatory leaking?
In many cases, as long as sealant is the cause. We find where the water gets in first, so you know what you’re paying for.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Only a few details: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. After that, simply call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is Crawley. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
What we cannot put right
In fairness, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- A frame that needs repairing or replacing
- Failed flashing around a conservatory
- Glass that needs replacing
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
